    My only thought about his? its? name, is that Korgen means "the basket" in my native language.
    [Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!

    Oh, you children. Go listen to some Smashing Pumpkins. :)

    I never listened to them. I know the name, of course, but somehow they never caught my attention. Any suggestions what to seek for on youtube? Something typical for their style?

    I actually still have a soft spot for Disarm. It just so completely takes me back to a particular era.

    "Tonight, Tonight" is probably their most famous song, and the music video is really cool as well. (Being much more orchestral in tone, it also sounds completely different from "Zero"--even people who dislike The Smashing Pumpkins often say they did a great job covering different musical styles. You still have to hear Billy Corgan's voice, though.) "1979" is another one, in yet another musical style, that is very well received. (I am in the "love the music, dislike Corgan as a person" camp. I don't think he's a great singer either, even though I do enjoy me some Pumpkins--do your ears a favor and don't look up The Smashing Pumpkins's cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide." Corgan's voice is NOT AT ALL suited to that song.)

    On topic:

    I've been making jokes about "killing Billy Corgan" ever since Summerset came out, and my "type this to be added to boss group" keyword is usually "Billy." XD

    If you ever wonder why certain official fandom spaces are so often toxic and awful, remember: corruption starts from the top. And if you don't want me to call you out for being terrible, maybe you should consider not being terrible. ^^v

    "Mayonnaise" is my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song. Give that a listen.

    I've said this in the past and was greeted with skepticism, but come on... you will never convince me that B'Korgen is anything other than a joke about Billy Corgan.

    Next time I go to slap the stuffing out of that boss I'll make sure to listen to some Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.

    So, I've listened to all the suggestions. They're not bad, actually, but unfortunately I still don't really like the singer's voice. The video for Tonight, Tonight is great, though, with all those silent film allusions (Georges Méliès!) :D
